“Our values decide our character; our character decides our value.” – James Kerr
The values we instill in our pupils are:
➢ ASPIRE – to the very highest standards➢ ACHIEVE – to the best of our ability➢ EXCEL – in all that we do
_________________________________________________________________________________________
“Set High Standards, remain true to your values, listen to your conscience and do yourself proud.”Frank Sonnenberg

2. The College Model
2.1 Structure of Academy Colleges
From September 2021 we will introduce a small-school model of education, there are three Colleges in TheHundred of Hoo Academy. Each will be based on department locations and assigned a colour as part of theirCollege but will continue to wear a coloured tie representing the year they started. The Academy colleges willprovide a small school pastoral model within which pupils receive pastoral support and their pastoralcurriculum. Additionally in year 7 and 8 the class they are taught in will be with pupils from their College.
Colleges will be of equal ability and fully comprehensive, some subjects in year 7 and 8 may choose to set thepupils within their College classes based on ability. To encourage social confidence and to give pupils moreopportunities to build friendships and have role models within a College they will not be in year group formsinstead they will be in vertical forms, consisting of 6-7 pupils from each of years 7-10, Years 11-13 will havetheir own form groups as they will have specialist sessions as they prepare for their examinations. They willattend a College Assembly once a fortnight, with a celebration assembly each term, which will be led by theHeads of College outlined below.
2.2 The College Names
Neptune CollegeNamed after the Roman God of the Sea, this is poignant to our community as the Hoo peninsula is surroundedby The River Thames and Medway. He also had the ability to speak with all sea creatures which links to thelanguage acquisition within the MYP, which provides pupils with the opportunity to develop insights into thefeatures, processes and craft of language and the concept of culture.
Athena CollegeNamed after the Greek Goddess of Wisdom and sponsor of arts and strategy. Athena was always depictedwith the ‘owl of Athena’, which was her source of knowledge. This Goddess was picked as it links to our‘knowledge rich’ curriculum.
Forseti CollegeNamed after the god of justice and reconciliation in Norse mythology. This God links well with our IB learnerprofile attributes in developing principled and self-regulated pupils.
2.3 The College Staffing
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 5
3. ChromebooksEvery pupil will receive their own Chromebook device which is loaned by the Trust in agreement with Parents /Carers when they join the Academy. The use of 1:1 devices in and beyond lessons is a key part of our DigitalStrategy and is the gateway to the wealth of experiences and information available to pupils within and beyondtheir community. Parents are required to collect a child’s device, it cannot be handed directly to pupils whenfirst loaned, and you will need to sign a Loan Agreement Form. pupils will also be required to sign anAcceptable Use Policy when they first use their devices in the Academy. We strongly encourage parents toinvest in a chromebook sleeve case to protect the device and ensure it lasts the required time while their childis attending the Academy, affordable covers can be easily found online.
Pupils are expected to take care of their device and responsible for ensuring it is brought to the Academy fullycharged every day as part of their compulsory equipment list. They should not leave their device chargingovernight as this will shorten the battery life and lead to complications in period 4 and 5 lessons should they berequired to use their device frequently throughout the day.
Chromebooks can support pupils to learn in a multitude of ways, but do not replace traditional writing in booksand will not be used every lesson. As an Academy we are aware of protecting pupils, and staff, from excessivescreen time and encourage you to ensure pupils do not spend a significant proportion of their evening timeusing devices.
4. Structure of the Academy Day
4.1 Academy Day Timings

4.2 Preparing for the Day
It is a pupils responsibility to ensure they are wearing the correct uniform and have cross referenced their dailytimetable with the contents of their bag to ensure that they have all the necessary books and equipment fortheir lessons. The Academy advises that pupils do this the evening before; charging their Chromebook at thesame time (see Chromebook Acceptable Use Policy). It is expected that parents support pupils in coming toAcademy correctly dressed (see Uniform and Equipment Policy) having had breakfast, or planning to purchasebreakfast from the Cucina kitchen, so that they have a healthy start to the day.
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 6
4.3 Start of the Day
The Academy day starts at 8.25am and we expect pupils to be through the gate and on their way to theirmorning registration lineup by 8.25am when the pip for morning lineup sounds. The Academy gates will beopen to pupils from 7.45am onwards. Pupils will be able to access the Dining Hall and toilets from 8.00 -8.25am when they are supervised by staff in order to get breakfast if they have not already eaten, and preparefor the day.
Any pupil who arrives through the gate after 8.25am will be expected to report to their College Pastoral SupportManager at the gate who will take their name. This will be automatically recorded as an unauthorised latenessand a 30 minute lunch detention in the Pastoral Room will be issued (see Attendance and Punctuality Policy).pupils are still able to eat their lunch during this detention but they will not be able to socialise with their peers.
4.4 Morning Lineup
The morning line up pips sound at 8.25am and pupils will be expected to immediately move into their formgroup lines in an orderly fashion for the 8.30am lineup to commence. Form tutors will greet their form groupson the playground and conduct a daily check to ensure that their pupils are ready for learning. Pupils will beexpected to line up in alphabetical order in silence while these checks are carried out. Any equipment anduniform violations will be swiftly identified and addressed in order to remove barriers to learning before pupilsstart their learning (see Uniform and Equipment Policy). Should morning lineup not be feasible due to adverseweather, pupils will be directed inside to their form rooms where the same checks will be carried out.
4.5 Transitions to Lessons
Following morning lineup pupils will be dismissed from the playground and they will be expected to walk in anorderly fashion to their period 1 lessons following the Academy’s one way system. As pupils move around theAcademy between lessons and social times they will be expected to model the behaviours outlined in the PupilCode of Conduct agreement at all times and will be sanctioned appropriately if they fail to do so (SeeBehaviour and Attitudes Policy).
4.6 In Lesson Behaviours
Lessons are all an hour long and pupils will be expected to follow the Classroom Etiquette protocols at alltimes, failure to do so will result in appropriate consequences in line with the Academy Behaviour andAttitudes Policy. Pupils can expect the same structure in every lesson across the Academy lessons.

The Cucina restaurant runs a cashless system for purchasing food via ParentPay (see Section 13.4ParentPay). Pupils’ biometric fingerprint will be used to pay for food and drinks from their personal account,which is topped up by parents using the secure online system. If a pupil has access to Free School Meals theiraccount will be pre-loaded (see Pupil Premium and Free School Meals). It is each pupil’s responsibility toensure that their behaviours fall in line with the Pupil Code of Conduct agreement and in particular that they:
● Use the toilet (toilet visits will not be allowed during lessons unless a child has a valid medical toiletpass).
● Eat and drink to ensure they are replenished for learning.● Remain seated while eating.● Put all their litter in the bin and hold their peers to account if they fail to do so.● Raise any concerns to members of staff - it is not appropriate to miss lesson time to do so.● Stay in the designated areas or they will be sanctioned for being out of bounds.
4.8 End of the Day
Lessons end at 2.50pm and pupils will be walked by their period 5 teacher to the playground for the end of daylineup. Pupils are expected to line up in silence in alphabetical order and their form tutors will greet them,removing any pupils from the line that have an after school detention. Pupils who have a detention will beescorted to the detention room when the remainder of their year has been dismissed. All Academy detentions(apart from late detentions) are conducted after school, not during social times, with a start time of 3.00pm (seeBehaviour and Attitudes Policy).
Following staggered dismissal of form groups, pupils are expected to leave the Academy site immediatelyunless they are attending after school activities and clubs, with staff supervising their dismissal from site by3.00pm.

6. The CurriculumThe breadth and nature of the Academy’s curriculum continues to improve as we work to ensure it is ambitiousand improves the life chances of all pupils regardless of their starting points or individual needs.
The curriculum provides breadth and balance in terms of the subjects offered and these use the NationalCurriculum as the foundation. There is an explicit emphasis on “Cultural Capital” through the development ofthe essential knowledge needed to be educated citizens along with the skills and capabilities needed forlife-long learning and for contributing effectively to society through the Middle Years Program. These can beseen in the implementation of The Hundred of Hoo teaching and learning framework, the delivery of ‘Theme ofthe Fortnight’ program and in the whole Academy cross-curriculum subject map which demonstrates theteaching of literacy, numeracy, careers and horizontal cross curriculum links between subjects.
The curriculum serves to build upon the skills and knowledge developed throughout a pupil's primary educationand creates a solid foundation upon which to develop knowledge and key concepts as they move from KeyStage 3 to Key Stage 4. This means that each subject plans their curriculum to be delivered in a way thatsequences learning towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning and employment.Within the curriculum map there are clear links between the curriculum, the local context of the school andglobal contexts. Many pupils on the Hoo peninsula have a limited understanding of life outside of Medway andtherefore schemes of work use examples of familiar local contexts to further develop their understanding of thewider world.
6.1 The Secondary - Two-weekly Cycle
The Academy day is divided into 5, one hour teaching periods over a two week cycle (with Wednesday period5 being used for staff CPD), giving 48 periods per fortnight. In addition to this, we have an extra period 6 at theend of the day for pupils to attend intervention/enrichment sessions and after Academy day clubs.
6.2 The Middle Years Programme (MYP)
The MYP framework ensures that pupils develop into inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young peoplewho help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight discipline groups providing a broad and balanced keystage 3 education. pupils study all eight disciplines in years 7 to 9 and are able to focus on some subjectgroups in more detail in year 9, plus the added benefit of a subject from the ‘Careers Education’ discipline tobroaden their curriculum.
● Language & Literature● Sciences● Mathematics - (Maths Mastery)● Individuals & Societies - (History, Geography and PSHRE)● Arts - (Art, Drama and Music)● Language Acquisition - (French, Spanish or German)● Design - (IT and Technology)● Physical & Health Education - (Practical and Theory)
As well as the eight discipline groups there is also cross-curricular,interdisciplinary teaching and the opportunity to complete a communityproject. Units are built upon key and related concepts, alongside a global context that ensures pupils areable to make connections between their learning and life outside of the Academy, in their local communityand beyond.
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 10
Explicit ‘Approaches to Learning’ are also taught to children to develop and embed lifelong learning skillsthat they will then implicitly use once they master them and leave the Academy. These include the abilityto critically think, reason, research and communicate - all key transferable skills that pupils need todevelop for tomorrow’s world.
Lastly the IB Learner Profile of the MYP reinforces pupils to nurture and develop the key characteristicsthat we would want all our children to foster and model within the community, for example being caring,compassionate, open minded risk takers who are resilient enough to overcome the challenges life maythrow at them.
6.3 Numeracy and Literacy Across the Curriculum
At the Academy, we are all teachers of literacy and numeracy. We all make the commitment to improvestandards in literacy and numeracy through thoughtful, pupil centred planning, uniform marking procedures,standardised delivery of numerical concepts and ensuring that this exceptional practice is part of every lesson.We ensure that every opportunity is taken to model high quality literacy and numeracy skills.
The below outlines the ways in which we support both areas across the curriculum:
● Pupils engage in specific activities that develop reading, writing, communication and mathematical skills.● Pupils develop these skills through work that makes cross-curricular links with other subjects.● Pupils will be provided with a range of opportunities, through different contexts, to continually develop
and apply their knowledge and skills.● Pupils develop extended writing skills, and therefore resilience, through consistent opportunities in all
subject areas.
6.4 Fundamental British Values and PSHRE Curriculum - All Years
The Academy is fully immersed in the ideals and values of Britain, ensuring that democracy, rule of law,individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs run through the very fabric of ourcommunity. This is reflected through our behaviour systems, expectations of a ‘Hoo pupil’ and our curriculum.We support every pupil to have their opinions, for them to be shared and valued through pupil surveys, theStudent Leadership Team and in lessons.
Personal Social Health, Religious and Economic education is taught discretely throughout Year 7, 8 9 and 10.For Year 11 it is delivered through a series of alternative curriculum days. The content of which is delivered tosupport pupils’ Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development, enabling them to access the world withoutprejudice or ignorance of their own purpose, social standing or views of others around them.
This aspect of the curriculum is well mapped alongside the form time ‘Theme of the fortnight’ programme,ensuring that pupils are given essential access to a variety of life skills. Through working alongside the PSHEassociation and Medway Council, resources for the whole curriculum have been built to ensure the needs of allpupils are met.
Fundamental British Values Guidance PSHE Curriculum RSE Curriculum
6.5 Independent Study (Knowledge Organisers)
Independent study tasks are set to improve pupils’ retention of key information and to provide opportunities forpupils to master the key skills needed to be successful. It also provides teachers with the raw material toundertake diagnostic assessments that feed into our monitoring and progress tracking system. We ask parentsto oversee the homework that your child has been given and to support them in ensuring that it is completedby the deadlines set.
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 11
During Year 7 and Year 8, pupils will use knowledge organisers for home study, alongside some independentpractice tasks. Pupils will memorise key information and self-test during the week, before low stakes testing inlessons during the following week. Studies demonstrate that frequent low stakes testing alleviates examanxiety and supports the development of long term memory.
Independent Study allows you to:
● Practise and reinforce skills covered in class.● Research for information and develop connected skills.● Give further opportunity to practise examination-type questions.● Develop retention of key content required.
Independent study and deliberate practice tasks can be of various types such as reading, research, applicationof key facts and completion of exam style questions. It will be recorded by staff members on Google Classroomaccessible via individual usernames and passwords for both pupils and parents. If lost/misplaced these can bere-allocated (where internet access is not possible, alternative arrangements can be made). Please contact theAcademy if you wish to discuss the homework set for your child.
Homework set will consist of:
Year 7Minimum of 30 minutes of home study per subject per week, which may consist ofknowledge organisers and deliberate practice
Year 8Minimum of 30 minutes of home study per subject per week, which may consist ofknowledge organisers and deliberate practice
Year 9 Minimum of one 45 minute Independent study task per subject per week
Years 10 11 Minimum of one 60 minute Independent study task per subject per week
Years 12 13 Frequent higher order Independent study tasks for all subjects
The Academy operates a Homework Club and an Independent Study Support group each week. These will beon targeted days for each year group, and will provide opportunities for pupils who may require extra support intheir learning. This is for pupils who wish to stay behind to receive help to complete tasks or for those that areunable to access Google Classroom website/app from home due to internet issues. This is fully supervised bymembers of staff. Homework Club runs in the evening, Monday to Thursday, to support pupils with any HomeStudy issues.
6.6 The Co-curriculum
Ofsted Report - 2018“The appropriately broad range of timetabled subjects is complemented creatively by extracurricularopportunities, including in technology and the expressive arts.”
At The Hundred of Hoo Academy, we not only value education in the classroom, we believe our experiencesdefine us. Pupils should be given a wealth of opportunities, alongside activities that they have the right toexperience. Each and every year pupils spend at The Hundred of Hoo Academy they will develop new skills,make new friends and be involved in life-affirming experiences. Every young person will have an entitlement torich and fulfilling experiences both inside and outside of the Academy walls.
At The Hundred of Hoo Academy we provide our pupils with a holistic curriculum, enhancing all aspects of theirdevelopment. We firmly believe that a young person’s future is dependent on the experiences they have in thepresent.
In 2021-22 the Academy will strive to offer a wide range of co-curricular opportunities for pupils both inside andoutside the Academy to support pupils' cultural development. The Academy will provide opportunities for pupilsto attend clubs in subjects such as science, MFL, PE and the LGBTQ+ plus year group and college
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 12
competitions in PE, MFL and humanities. The Academy is also planning on running trips to variousperformances with the English and performing arts and humanities department. Pupils can also have theopportunity to take part in the Choir, Stage productions and Variety performances.
6.7 Academy Trips
At The Hundred of Hoo Academy we believe that our pupils benefit significantly from visiting places of interestand we know these experiences will broaden pupils’ horizons and deepen their learning.
We will run regular trips to Universities, Museums, Galleries, Theatres and Sports venues. You will always beinformed if your child has been invited to take part in a trip or visit and be asked to complete the followingconsent - Link
We will ask parents for a contribution towards the cost of Academy trips where necessary. We do not want costto be a reason for pupils to miss out, so if parents are unable to make a contribution they should discuss thiswith the Academy.
At the Hundred of Hoo Academy our curriculum gives every pupil strong foundations for the future. It givesevery pupil the right and opportunity to ‘Aspire, Achieve and Excel’.
7. Pupil Leadership Council
The pupil Leadership Council will play a key role in pupil voice and how Acadmey life develops as theAcademy grows over time. Initially each form group will elect 2 pupils to sit on the pupil leadership council.These pupils will play a key role in representing pupil voice when they meet termly with a dedicated member ofstaff to listen to queries, feedback and ideas they may have about how to further improve our academy,community and learning experiences.
Heads of College will meet separately with their own College pupil leadership members when organisingcollege and community events. In addition the Senior Leadership Team and visitors may meet with the pupilleadership members from different year groups when seeking pupil voice.
8. Pupil Premium and Free School Meals
The Academy receives ‘Pupil Premium Grant’ funding from the Government for two separate reasons:
● Raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential.● Supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.

9. UniformPupils are expected to wear full Academy uniform (see Uniform and Equipment Policy) on the way to and fromthe Academy. Essential items of uniform, e.g. Academy blazer, tie, trousers/skirt, bag and some items of PEkit, are only available from the Academy’s uniform supplier, Uniform Base, due to being branded with our logo.
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 14
10. Behaviour and AttitudesIt is a basic requirement for learning that pupils are well behaved. We have high expectations of our pupils’behaviour. Pupils must treat each other and their teachers with respect and act appropriately in learningenvironments.
10.1 Academy Rewards System - Link
We believe that positive encouragement and proudly celebrating not only our own successes, but the successof others, is the cornerstone to growing intrinsic behaviours where pupils self-facilitate their own learning andself-manage their behaviours. Our Hoo Attributes are underpinned by the IB Learner Profile and pupils will berewarded in a number of ways when they demonstrate key qualities and traits linked to these. Rewards are notonly given in recognition of individual achievements, but perhaps more importantly, pupils' thirst for learningand desire for betterment, their development of lifelong learning skills and the role they play as an active,respectful community member.
The key themes from each attribute in the learner profile underpin the rewards and consequence policies andopportunities to enable pupils to be successful in all aspects of these will be embedded seamlessly throughoutThe Hundred of Hoo Academy community life.

10.2 Academy Consequence System
We maintain high standards of behaviour by "sweating the small stuff". This means teachers being consistentabout routines and detail. It means addressing pupils’ actions when they do not meet expectations, whetherthis concerns the way uniform is worn, equipment, promptness to class, or actions or language to one another.This firm approach to behaviour will be supported by the strong nurturing relationships between teachers andpupils. If pupils decline to meet our expectations of behaviour, the consequences will include removal from theirpeers, detentions, ‘community service’ in the Academy’s grounds, and missing enjoyable activities such asextra-curricular learning, or school trips. In extreme or repeated cases, pupils will face temporary or permanentexclusion. The Academy has the responsibility to discipline pupils inside or outside the academy, whether theyare in uniform or not. The Academy will work alongside the local community, bus companies, and the Policewhere necessary.
Our exceptional overall effectiveness is underpinned by the clarity of our behaviour systems and theconsistency with which they are applied, these systems are outlined in our Behaviour and Attitudes policy.
The Academy consequence system will be applied where pupils are either making poor choices that do notpromote the Academy values or behaving in a manner that does not align with the attributes expected from anAcademy Pupil. The consequence system provides a standardised and differentiated approach to settingappropriate consequences, and it is important to recognise that a pupil does not have to progress through theconsequence ladder systematically if a behaviour is serious and warrants immediate C2 or Patrol support.
10.2a Academy Sanctions
The Academy uses a range of sanctions including detentions as a consequence for any unacceptablebehaviour that is included within the Behaviour and Attitudes Policy. All staff will use these sanctions to ensurethat high standards of behaviour and conduct both within and outside the Academy are maintained.
Parents and carers should be aware that parental consent is not required for detentions and detentions maybe given the same day without notice for up to one hour. We will endeavour to contact parents to advise themof a same day detention. Contact will be made via Bromcom (text), or telephone. However, this is out ofcourtesy not necessity. A late arrival to the Academy will generate a late detention that same day at lunch time.
The Academy operates a central detention system by which detentions are recorded on Brocom – this is wheredetentions will be added. A recorded detention is an official Academy sanction. Any child failing to turn up to adetention will either be issued with an SLT (Senior Leader Team) detention or placed in the Learning SupportUnit (LSU), for the following day. Failure to turn up to SLT detention or attend the LSU may result in furthersanctions.
Where a pupil is absent due to illness a detention will be rescheduled for the day the pupil returns to theAcademy.
3pm-5pm detentions are an alternative to an LSU referral and will be sat every Thursday. No detentions will besat on a Wednesday due to staff training. Below indicates actions that will result in a 3pm-5pm detention.
● Failure of subject report/FT report● Non-attendance at am or pm line up● Continual lateness to the Academy day/

12.8 Academy Dining Hall - Biometric System Permission
The Hundred of Hoo Academy has a biometric image system for pupils to pay for food and refreshments in theAcademy’s restaurant. This increases the speed at which pupils can purchase their food, and supports theAcademy in its overall aim to be as cashless as possible. The system links directly with our online paymentsystem Parentpay. Cucina, our providers, will always work with parents to ensure if a child has allergies theyare catered for.
The biometric recognition system works by looking at skin patterns on the finger or thumb. During theenrolment process the software captures a digital signature of your child’s fingertip or thumb, which is thenbroken down into data points, similar to reference points on a map. The system then turns these into analphanumeric string which is then encrypted and stored on the Academy’s secure server. As only an
Aspire Achieve Excel Page 21
alphanumeric string is stored, the system is safe and secure and would be of no use to anyone except for thepurposes for which the system is designed.
The Academy does however require - Parental Consent to allow us to capture the finger/thumb image neededto enrol pupils into the system which was given when completing the enrolment forms. Even if your child isunlikely to have a school meal, it is still helpful that we enrol them in the system should they ever find they needto make use of it. The Academy does not accept cash.
